Deposit, 21. per Share. The object of this Company is the manufacture and sale of a metallic preparation, hitherto unknown in this country, to pre , serve iron and copper from rust and oxidation, the machinery and process of which are secured by patent. In England where these metals are so extensively used, and their preservation from rust is of such manifest importance, the esta blishment of this Company cannot fail to be of the greatest in terest ; and an enumeration of a few of the various objects capable of being preserved by this invention will at once thew the extensive field opened for its operation. Iron rails, pins, screws, and other articles used in railways. The bright parts of the machinery connected with locomotive engines which are necessarily exposed to the weather. The filed and bright parts, as well as the steam-boilers, of marine engines. Water tanks for vessels of war and other ships. Chain cables, ship's bolts, knees, and all other iron works used in ship-building ; likewise copper-sheathing ; all sorts of iron fixed or used in damp or wet situations, as mines, docks, wharfs, &c. &c. Nails, screws, and all iron-work used in oat-buildings. All copper and brass vessels used for culinary purposes. Desirous of making this patent as perfect as possible, its pro moters have delayed bringing it forward until the present moment, in order to test its value by the experiments and calculations of scientific and practical men ; and it is only after the fullest and most satisfactory investigation that it is now offered to the public, as an undertaking which cannot fail to yield large profits. A prospectus, with ample details, will be immediately istued. Applications for shares may be addressed, until the 2(.1 of May, to the Provisional Committee, care of William Paterson, Esq., Soli citor, 68, Old Broad-street ; Thomas T. Mawo, Esq., Solicitor, 4, New Bridge -street ; or at the Offices, 83, Cornhill, where Spe cimens of the invention may be seen. AGRICULTURAL' AND COMMERCIAL BANK OF IRELAND. On Monday, 10th April, 1538, the Half-yearly General Meeting of the Agricultural and Commercial Bank of Ireland was held at the Company's House, Fleet -street, at eleven o'clock. On the motion of J. DWYER, Esq., seconded by S. PA AKER Esq., Alderman WILLIAM HODGES (M em b er of t,he Board ' of Directors), was unanimously called to th e Ch a i r , an d read to the Meeting the Report of the Board as follows : G EN T LEmEre—ln compliance with the resolutions passed at the last half-yearly meeting, the Directors have paid to Proprie tors a balance of 9,000/. received on account of third instalment, and 5,000/. on account of dividend struck in October, PM. They have also paid off all remaining balances duo to bankers, arising from the final close of accounts with them on foot of returned bills, or otherwise —making a total of payments since last meeting, en these accounts, of .1,312/. Your Directors further proceeded with the gradual reduction of branches in those districts wherein a profitable return had not accrued, and the resumption of discount business, as well as tike continuance of the ordinary operation of banking, at those branches which have proved remunerative, and from which past experience demonstrated that a fair profit might be anticipated. The result has been satisfactory, and progressive improvement is manifest both in the business and character of the transactions. The greatest circumspection has been used in the accommodation granted, and the issues at the several branches hare been regulated solely by the legitimate action of commerce. " It is gratifying to reflect that the principle of Joint-stock Bank, has been fully sustained by your Company, which, notwith standing the unparalleled difficulties in which it was placed by the peculiar crisis of the autumn of 1836, aggravated by the unreason able conduct of a portion of the proprietary, has, in little more than one year, fully and entirely paid off all liabilities existing at the period of the pressure, without loss to say individual, including the full payment and cancelling of the note issue then outstanding ; re suming the ordinary course of business at the agency in Dublin and at twenty of the selected branches, with a new plate and issue, a numerous and wealthy proprietary located in those districts best adapted for profitable commerce. " Your Directors trust that consideration for the welfare of the. country will induce the other Joint-stock Banks in Ireland to act without reference to petty jealousies or narrow objects ; and that they will see that the interests of all parties are best promoted by fairly expanding, in place of unduly cramping, the energies of the country. Its resources are great, and the manner in which the agricultural districts of Ireland have paid off the obligations con tracted therein to your Company, warrant your Board in asserting that they are deserving of encouragement and support ; whilst, on the other hand, improvident speculation should be discouraged,every legitimate assistance should be extended to develops the resources of the country, and assist the industry of the people. A Joint stock Bank should, to a fair extent, sympathise with the popula tion, and not be governed by the merely sordid consideration of pecuniary profit. The nobility and gentry should naturally support those institutions which best support the general interest and per manent welfare of their tenantry. " At this crisis your Board consider that such remarks are not irrelevant, as the subject of the Bank of Ireland Charter (which has, in date, expired) may now be considered as before the Le gislature. Connected as that subject is with the best interests of Ireland and of the empire, your Directors anticipate that no system of exyediency or of compromise will retard or control the broad principle involved in freedom of trade; and that, whilst the Bank Corporation may fairly retain privileges as a chartered body, yet that unwise restrictions upon other banking institutions will be removed, leaving open to all (under such salutary regulations as the wisdom of the Legislature may dictate) the trade of banking free, as in Scotland, unimpeded by invidious monopoly, thus in viting a legitimate rivalry with an equality of rights, (as far as legislation is concerned,) which must conduce to the well-being of the community. " The importance of the subject will naturally challenge the at tention of the leading men of all parties ; and your Directors, fully aware of its importance, deem it their duty to call your atten tion to it, and to impress upon the proprietary the utility of exertion to advance the interests of their property, by zealous co-operation with your Board. - "In conclusion, your Board feel quite warranted by the progress made since the last meting, in stating their conviction that the prospects of the Company are cheering, the best evidence of which will be found in the statement of assets and liabilities now sub mitted to you, which, with the guarantee of .a numerous and wealthy proprietary (registered pursuant to the provisions of 6 Geo. IV., chap. 42), present a security to the public for the transac tions of your Company of an undoubted character. Without enter ing into minute particulars as to the nature of your surplus assets ' (amounting to 261,1971.) your Board feel justified in giving their opinion that, making those allowances which are usually incidental to bank* transactions, an available capital, adequate for the due conduct of twenty branches, with perfect security to the public, combining safety and profit to the proprietary, may be fairly counted upon. Your Board refrains from adverting to the pleasing con trast which the present state of your Company presents to that which twelve months age was sought to be imposed upon you, under circumstances rendered the more peculiar from results since ascer tained, the best vindication of the Board is found in the fact of your present position—with all liabilities then existing paid off, the security of the shareholders demonstrated, and the property of the Company (in place of being-wasted by litigation) preserved with the Institution. " What has passed, however, may be buried in oblivion, and union, perseverance, and fair reciprocity inculcated for the general good. " Signed on behalf of the Dail' , Board, " JOHN VANCE (Belfast), Chairman." Adopted by the General Meeting, , WM. HODGES (Alderman) Chairman. It was then moved by WILLIAM EDDIONSTON, of Belfast, Esq. ; and seconded by Mr. JoseN M'Cov - , of Clones : Resolved—That the Report and Accounts now submitted be received and entered on the minutes. Moved by Jamrs DwyEa, Esq. ; and secondedby F. WHITE, Esq. : Resolved—That we approve of the limitation of Branches which has taken place, as mentioned in the Report ; and we further re commend such judicious curtailment of those existing Branches as the opinion of the Board, upon full investigation, may point out as proper and expedient. Moved by Fitaxcis WELDON, of Lisburn, Esq. -; seconded by JOHN CHAMBERS, Esq. Resolved—That we recommend that every practicable measure of prudent economy shall be observed coincident with the judicious lo cation and curtailment of branches. Moved by HENIKT WATSON, Esq., J. P., seconded by W. R. N. DOWNE R , E sq., Resolved—That we earnestly impress on the Proprietors the great advantage which must be derived from strenuous co• operation in the several localities, to advance the interests of the Company by judicious and collective exertion. ( Signed) WILLIAM HODGES, Chairman. JOSEPH R. PIM, Esq., was than called to the Chair, and it was Moved by JAMES DWI:ER, Esq : , and seconded by P. JoNEs, Esq., and resolved unanimously, That the warm thanks of the Proprietor; . are due and hereby given to Alderman Hod g es, for his proper and dignified conduct in the Chair, and his zealous exertion at all ti mes to promote th e in terests of our native Institution. Resclved—That the ~ Report and Resolutions be circulated amongst the Proprietors, under the direction of the Board. (Signed) JOSEPH R. PIAL Chairman. THOMAS BRIERLY, General Superintendent.

This Company presents to small er large Capitalists, aspects of an extraordinary character : the immense consumption of the tvv 2 ,. articles and the certainty of their disposal at liberal profits render this undertaking unusually safe and lucrative, as upon the most mo derate calculation, it offers a clear dividend of twenty per cent. per annum, un the paid up capital, while such capital is augmenting, and the Shares consequently becoming increasingly valuable. To Wine Merchants, Victuallers, Oilmen, and Picklers, this Company presents a most eligible investment, as by becoming Shareholders, they unite the advantages of manufacturer anti dealer, and secure to themselves a certain and extensive trade. The Directors hope that the Trade and the Public generally, will immediately avail themselves of Shares in this lucrative undertaking, especially as they will provide that no Shareholder shall incur liability beyond the amount of his subscribed capital. No further call will be made without a month's previous notice, and then not exceed one pound per share.

BANKEtts.—The British and Foreign Banking Company, Lombard-street. SOLICITORS.—Messrs. Templer, Shearman, and Slater. The Asphalte Mines of Travers, in the Canton and Principality of Neufchatel in Switzerland, are so celebrated, as the first disco vered in Europe, as regards their superiority in quality to every other hitherto discovered, that the Directors of this Company deem if unnecessary further to refer than to the following extracts from " L'Encyclop6die Francaise, tone 1, page 759." " The first Asphalte Mine which was discovered in Europe was that of Travers, in Neufchatel, and we are indebted to M. Sab lioniere for its discovery. " The Duke of Orleans, then Regent of France, gave him per mission, by royal ordinance, after the Bitumen had been analysed, to introduce it into France, and the principal Basins in the royal gardens were repaired with the Cement in 1743, and have continued in an unaltered state since that period : and the Basins of the Water Works at Versailles were also repaired with the Cement from the Aline .f Travers." Le Dictionaire Universel du Commerce, par Savary, tome I, pages 165, 166, gives more detailed accounts of the valuable pro perties of the Mines. The supply of Asphalte will be abundant, and, from the fact that Bituminous Cement is becoming an article of general use on the Continent of Europe, and from the very successful experiments now making in London, there is every reason to expect that it will, in a great measure, become a staple of universal consumption, super seding the use of Stone, Lead, Zinc, and other Cements of inferior descriptions. The Directors have entered into arrangements for the exclusive purchase and right of importing the Asphalte of Travers into Great Britain and Ireland, but they are not prevented from selling it else where ; and it is proposed to establish Agencies on the Continent, for the purpose of conducting the Company's business abroad. The Directors have it also in contemplation to unite this Company with the LONDON BITUMEN or EGYPTIAN ASPHALTE COMPANY, so soon as the expected Firman of the Pacha of Egypt arrives ; and the Committee of Management of the London Bitumen Company will then convene a meeting of their Share holders, by whose sentiments they will be guided as regards the proposed junction. One-tenth proportion of the Shares is taken by the Proprietor of the Mine and his Associates. The Deposit Receipts for the 21. per Share arc to be exchanged for Scrip Certificates, when ready for delivery, of which due notice will be given; and the remainder by instalments, when called for by the Directors, and which will be advertized in the daily news papers. No call to exceed 21. per Share, and not to be made at a less in terval than two months. In default of payment of any such call, the money previously paid on such Shares will be forfeited. A General Meeting of the Shareholders will be called once in every year ; and, on all occasions where voting may be necessary, the Proprietor of essary, S Shares will have One Vote, 10 Ditto ...... Two Votes, 20 Ditto and upwards Four Votes. The Directors do not intend to have any Deed of Settlement pre pared until after the first Annual Meeting on Ist May, 1839, when they can obtain the opinion of the Shareholders on the subject. N.B. The Subscription List is filled up and the Shares are allotted. 2, Copthall Chambers, April 27, 1838.

CHURCH REFOR M.—Our Protestant Churches concur with the Roman Catholic Church in thinking that the phraseology of the Bible may be well enough for the Bible ; but that it is net sufficiently copious for the exigencies of Creeds, and Articles of Faith and Liturgies. A few persons, indeed (but an objection so opposed to the opinion of members is hardly worth stating) have considered the sneers upon the language of inspiration as undeserved. We take it for granted, from their paucity, that. they are wrong ; and would only deplore the consequence of the more popular conclusion. It is ,obvious that, upon the hypothesis, the Unity of the Christian Church is absolutely impossible, and per haps attaching importance to a mere trifle, we have sometimes, we confess, said--sorrowfully in our hearts—" 0 that the too scanty diction of Christ and his Apostles might not have proved fatal, or only in the last degree perilous anywhere to the propagation of Evengelical Christianity."
